I have tried it on a simple grid in another page, in that page it is working but in my real page it is not working. I don't know what's happening.

This means that your css is not loaded. Check for css reference on page.

Other CSS effect are happening like font and color on all page.
Css is stored in another file.
This grid is inside a table, panel. Can this be a problem?

Using JQuery
============

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function() {
        $("#<%=grd.ClientID %> tr:has(td)").hover(function()

this is producing error
The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>).

Solution 1

Add the CssClass to the RowStyle and AlternatingRowStyle like below and try.

HTML

<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#FFB6C1" CssClass="alternate" />

<RowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="Black" Font-Names="Verdana" CssClass="normal" />
